AFROTC commission/ cutbacks

I am curious to know what the reality of receiving a commission in the Air Force if one is a non-scholarship cadet. My concern is that the AF is only giving commission slots to those who hold scholarships because of all the cutbacks. Is this true?

When you are a C200 you will go up for the SFT board. If selected you become a POC. The board has criteria where points are awarded for the WCS. Nowhere on that packet do they state scholarship or non-scholarship. It is what they will call "blind" or masked.

The board does not know, nor do they care. It is all commander rec, gpa, pft, and AFOQT points. Notice no % for scholarship.

Also please understand scholarship recipients are the minority, not the majority in any det. Our DS's best friends are all non-AFROTC scholarship, he is the only scholarship cadet out of his group. They all will be commissioned this May...and yes, the ones that asked for UPT got UPT. Like I said to the boards that is not a factor at all.

If they only offered commissioning to scholarship cadets, they would only be commissioning about 10% of the cadets, nowhere near the 50% of the original C100 class sizes.
